Sanders told officers that he was walking in the area when he was approached by 29-year-old Ronald Davis and an individual nicknamed "Scully." Sanders and Davis became involved in an altercation, which escalated when the man known as Scully fired several rounds at him.

"The unknown suspect then fled the scene," according to the NOPD. "Davis fled towards nearby Tulane Avenue with Sanders following him, firing multiple shots, one striking him in the leg."

Paramedics transported Sanders and Davis to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Sanders was arrested on charges of illegally carrying of a firearm and possession of stolen property for the firearm that was stolen from Jefferson Parish.

Davis was booked into the jail for aggravated battery by shooting, according to the NOPD.

Detectives are now hoping that public can help them located Scully and a second suspect nicknamed "Tooty." Scully is described as being approximately 5 foot 8 inches in height last seen wearing a dark shirt and light colored pants.

Tooty is described as being approximately 5 foot 8 inches in height last seen wearing dark clothing. Both fled the scene on foot.
